A hot summer’s afternoon, a grove of ripe fig trees, and a nearby cascade of wild jasmine.
There’s a rocky trail from our house to the next village, and on a hot day it’s a treat for the senses all the way. A dip in the path brings you to a shady grove of ripe fig trees, where you fall under the intoxicating spell of the whole tree – the figs, the bark, and the leaves – combining fruity, woody, and green notes, then balanced by the white flowers of a nearby wild jasmine.
If the best taste in the world is a ripe, sun-warmed fig picked straight off the tree, this must be one of the best fragrances; it’s the smell of being on holiday.

About Welcome to La Montaña – a range of gorgeous home fragrances inspired by the founders’ new life in a Spanish mountain village. Fill your home with warm fragrances of the Mediterranean!
“On our mountain, at first light, there’s a heavenly fragrance in the air. Before anyone starts an engine, or lights a fire, the air is clear, and still, and silent. The first breath of the day carries the perfume of wild mountain herbs; fennel, rosemary, mountain pepper, and intoxicating rockrose. The alchemy of these fragrances, blended naturally on the breeze, weaves a magical spell… The inspiration for our first candle, First Light.”
We are a passionate and family-owned business – to us, La Montaña is personal, real and nostalgic.
La Montaña home fragrances conjure up memories and dreams of the Mediterranean, and of holidays in the sun. They’re guaranteed not only to smell wonderful, but also to look great on the mantlepiece – each one bears its own unique and collectable label in the style of a nostalgic 1930’s travel poster. La Montaña fragrances truly are affordable luxuries.
